Father’s Day brings brief respite from heat; temperatures to rise steadily

With a cool breeze and temperatures in the low 80s, the weather for Father’s Day was idyllic and offered a respite from the heat that flirted with triple digits all last week.

But the respite will be short lived, as the heat will steadily climb starting today and may possibly reach triple digits before the weekend, according to Idamis Del Valle, meteorologist with the National Weather Service in Sacramento.

“By tomorrow (today), we should see things heat up to the upper 80s,” Del Valle said. “By Tuesday it should in the mid 90s, by Wednesday it should be in the upper 90s, by Thursday it should be close to 100 and by Friday there is a potential of reaching triple digits.

Del Valle said the Sunday’s cool weather was attributed to a passing weather system that occur sporadically during months of high temperatures.

Sunday’s temperatures were cool enough to bring a bit of precipitation to Strawberry Valley, which received .04 inched of rain as of Sunday afternoon. According to With a cool breeze to their backs, a family feeds birds at Ellis Lake in Marysville on Sunday afternoon.

Appeal-democrat archives, Strawberry Valley had gone weeks without precipitation.

Del Valle said it is too far out to

predict when the next cool system will arrive and that this coming weekend is projected to be in the mid to upper 90s.
